O pray, ne'er forget by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we grilled at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose juices from folk-pricked pink flesh in the twilight,
O'er griddles we watched O so gallantly streaming;
And the coal's warming glare; fat bombs bursting in air,
Gave all proof through the night sausage-lovers were there;
But tell, have those star-spangled bangers yet gave
You guys hellish-like heartburn? Next time let's microwave!








Colin Baker June 2008
